    Is it possible to send, or receive, SMS Texts with the 2014 Prius C 3 and an iPhone 4 or 5?

    If yes, please point towards the right spot in the manual so I may read it myself.

    Or maybe only Ella Fitzgerald knows?

    Thank you!

    i am going to guess you mean to use the bigger screen on the Prius to read your texts the the answer is yes,,, you can bluetooth connect them or use the USB connector wire into the sound system. and yes it is possible to have the textxs played aurally (aloud) by you iPhone so as not to illegally distract the driving.
    i feel almost hypocritical going into any caveats about texting while driving considering how distracting all the eco-scores screens are that we all play with to monitor mileage etc.
    as to how, i dont have the three, i have the c one. and no more cell phones for me. sorry,,,

    No, I want to text while standing still in a parking lot, roadside, my driveway, atop the Empire State Building, on the Space Shuttle, you know, places like that.

    Texting while driving should be s crime.

    Hawaii.... How cool. Bird in paradise. Why no more cell phones?

    Iphone does not allow you to send text messages over hands free.
    U can hit the Siri button on the phone and do it that way.
